Anyone think Biden saying there is no federal solution weird? He is weird but this is really weird. I mean, this is the first time in his Presidency he said something true. Very odd.

Yes, that's just par for the course! Ms Saki, is sorely short on whatever it takes. Sometimes I actually feel sorry for her. And then I remember she has the choice to do whatever she wants too. So there goes my compassion.ЁЯС╡ЁЯШЗ
Yes, and it doesn't line up with his push for the OSHA mandates and the mandates on federal employees. Maybe he is hearing that he is going to lose at the Supreme Ct and this is a pre-emptive statement so he can say he always thought it was a state issue.
I would think it depends on the mandate. If he loses at the Supreme Ct, then OSHA can't enforce the mandate on companies with 100 employees. There are other lawsuits regarding mandates on federal employees and health care workers that I "think" are also on their way to the Supreme Court. If he loses those, then mandates on those people can't be enforced either. However, I think employers can still make up their own rules without BidenтАЩs mandates.
If an employer forced employees to get the jab or lose their jobs, I would think those employees would have a good grounds for a lawsuit against those employers (a friend just told me about someone who suffered a hemorrhage behind his eye after a jab required by his employer. He is blind in 1 eye and has a host of medical problems now.
He lost his job and medical insurance because of it. I would think he has a great grounds for a lawsuit against the employer)
Not necessarily. The SCOTUS could strike down the fed mandates simply on the logic that this is a states' rights issue, thereby handing off to the Leftist states to do the deed.
Uh, yes. And glad to hear someone else think this. People are talking about how this represents a shift.
But at its core it is weird. I mean they have been pushing, pushing, pushing, and all of a sudden, he is like тАЬyou know we donтАЩt have a solution - your people can call our people if you decide you need help.тАЭ
Something has happened. And he didnтАЩt come up with this. His handlers did.
For the life of me I do not understand why they didnтАЩt back out by withdrawing the mandates and saying something like тАЬ omicron has changed everything - the vaccines are not stopping transmission. The unvaccinated are still to blame but we will withdraw the mandates.тАЭ And then exit as quickly as possible.
That would seem more plausible. But instead he suddenly says the equivalent of тАЬwe got nothing here - you guys do this.тАЭ
He's realized that he's going to lose in his jab-pushing efforts on the Federal level - and is going to begin supporting Totalitarianism at the STATE level. Look out in Blue States like New York and California... rest easy if you live in Florida.
Some NYC venues requiring boosters to dine or attend a show. A leaked memo from MOMA said employee boosters will be required. Now IтАЩm glad I never got that dream job!
Yep, boosters required to work in healthcare by Feb 1 out here in Calif, city of San Jose wants to require boosters to ENTER a city owned facility, city of Santa Rosa was trying to require healthcare workers to take the flu shot, the list gets longer and more bizarre everyday.
So much for bodily autonomy, we now belong to whatever mini-dictators is in our general area, like we are in a medieval version of a post nuclear-dystopy.
Yeah ... We're going to have to sue, and begin SIT-INS... A parallel strategy, working through the Courts, and NonViolent Civil Disobedience in the streets, and Government buildings are our best hope.
IF ONLY Oregon were actually "Communist"... You'd have free healthcare, and education, and there'd be no people living under bridges, or in tents on the outskirts of town.
What we have in the USA is a battle between the Far-Right, and the Center-Right, in our mainstream political discourse and Overton window. The right calls the Democrats "Communists", while left and Democrats call the right and the GOP "Nazis". Well...the right hasn't studied enough poli sci to make an accurate assessment, generally... And the left and Democrats are engaged in hyperbole, that distracts from the fascistic and authoritarian tendencies that have been fostered deliberately, over 30-40 years of rightward drift.
Corporate Socialism aka Corporatism aka Mussolini-style fascism are what you have.
"Communism" is used as a synonym for Authoritarianism and Totalitarianism on the right...but that needn't be what that looks like. Marx and Engels didn't advocate for it.
Yeah both sides are really Nazis, but IтАЩd say the Dems are more effective at it... well actually IтАЩd say the neocon Republicans are worse but theyтАЩre unelectable; whatтАЩs electable are Q people some of whom are would-be petty dictators but they donтАЩt know what theyтАЩre doing and donтАЩt have substantial policy proposals. America is such a politically backwards country that it would be all too fitting if fascism came from the тАЬleftтАЭ. And it probably would but for the fact that these Nazis are gassing themselves which is also fittingly backwards.
Free - like it was something that we were giving to Weapons Makers, Big Corporations, Billionaires, the Pentagon, CIA, or Police... Free - because since you (and all of your productive labor) are ALREADY collateral on the Federal debt, since the 1933 bankruptcy and reorganization, it makes more economic sense to keep you healthy and housed, rather than incapacitated, and/or infectious, and living under a bridge, with no job... Trust me. The costs of an unhealthy, UnHoused, uneducated population, are higher than a society which doesn't have all of those problems. That's why, as impoverished as we've worked so hard, and spent trillions on trying to make them...the Cubans still find the ways to do those things, for THEIR people.
I'm certain all the people living under bridges would magically all have jobs and productive lives if only...what exactly? There are a million jobs available right now but no one is taking them, certainly not the under-the-bridge dwellers.
And ask yourself again, why do Cuban Americans vote overwhelmingly Republican?
Because they're The kind of empathy bereft quislings that were overthrown by the Cuban Revolution. They're properly known as "Gusanos" amongst the actual Cuban people, and those who stand with them.
As for the people living under the bridges, nobody will hire you, without an address, and a way to show up to work, clean and in washed clothes. What rationalizations do you use to help explain the sudden rise in the UnHoused population, caused by the degenerative disease of late capitalism? Have mental illness and addiction just suddenly boomed, inexplicably?
Certainly the CIA controlled drug trade has SOMETHING to do with it... But the reality is one dominated by economic factors, and profit-driven speculation. For EVERY UnHoused man, woman, child or family unit - there are at least two empty dwellings available, usually not too far away.
Most of the Cubans that came here were oligarchs before Castro took over and theyтАЩre still bitter about losing their banana republic plantation wealth.

Bull Dog, just saw this story today: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/jen-psaki-called-out-a-clip-of-biden-seeming-to-say-states-had-to-deal-with-covid-19-on-their-own-saying-it-was-misleadingly-edited/ar-AASeHbO?ocid=entnewsntp
Yes, that's just par for the course! Ms Saki, is sorely short on whatever it takes. Sometimes I actually feel sorry for her. And then I remember she has the choice to do whatever she wants too. So there goes my compassion.ЁЯС╡ЁЯШЗ
There are people who think he may be a clone?? The way he acts, maybe it's a possibility! Lol!ЁЯС╡ЁЯШЗ
HeтАЩs senile, heтАЩs being manipulated like Trump was, he was probably not the one who made the decision to try and pass a federal mandate.
Probably not , but I think he genuinely likes it his senility notwithstanding
Maybe it was a slip or maybe Bett is right or ....
Yes, and it doesn't line up with his push for the OSHA mandates and the mandates on federal employees. Maybe he is hearing that he is going to lose at the Supreme Ct and this is a pre-emptive statement so he can say he always thought it was a state issue.
Let us hope.
Those mandates - all of them - need to die.
Could be. But in that case wouldn't mandates at the State Level be very difficult, if Biden lost at the Supreme Court.?
I would think it depends on the mandate. If he loses at the Supreme Ct, then OSHA can't enforce the mandate on companies with 100 employees. There are other lawsuits regarding mandates on federal employees and health care workers that I "think" are also on their way to the Supreme Court.

Free? Like it is paid by fairies from outer space? Please.
We have the technology to make loads of stuff for super cheap if it werenтАЩt being hoarded by oligarchs for artificial scarcity.

Bingo! And the greedy and self-centered are actively encouraged to follow, and then join-up with the contras in Miami.
